• Develop a holistic plan of care including patient, family and friends acceptance of the diagnosis, coping and impact on plan of care.
• Summarize the information gathered in each week (Weeks 1–4) over 2 to 3 pages. This is should not to be copied and pasted from previous assignments.

  • Interview Results
  • Desired Outcomes
  • Evaluation Criteria
  • Actions and Interventions
